Psalms – Chapter 114

Books of The Bible / Book of Psalms

¹ Alleluia! When Israel came out of Egypt, the House of Jacob from a people of foreign speech,

² Judah became his sanctuary, and Israel his domain.

³ The sea fled at the sight, the Jordan turned back,

⁴ the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like sheep.

⁵ Sea, what makes you flee? Jordan, why turn back?

⁶ Why skip like rams, you mountains? Why like sheep, you hills?

⁷ Tremble, earth, at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the God of Jacob,

⁸ who turns rock into pool, flint into fountain.
